a.k.a. the 90–9–1 principle. Does the Fediverse follow this rule, or are there more creators here as early adopters? Are you a creator, a participator or a lurker?

    I don’t think disguising votes will ever happen, by nature of the protocol. Everything on Lemmy has to be verifiable. If votes are anonymous, you can have federated servers that run bots just to flood upvotes and you’d have no way to prove that the vote is unique. The transparency is a feature, not a bug.

    Personally I’m a fan. On Reddit, your upvotes were logged as well, but they were only visible to the admins. Here, there’s way more admins. So just be careful when upvoting your unicorn bukake fetishes if you’re embarrassed about it.
